While Xykon got defeated at both Lirian's gate and Soon's gate, he was perfectly able to brute force Dorukan's gate and brute force is what Kraagor's gate seems to be all about and Xykon is good at that and Roy knows this.

Though I guess maybe they just want to destroy the gate and regroup before Kraagor's gate since the party has taken quite a hit since they entered the pyramid. I still think that's just to pretty much give up since there is no way they can get to Kraagor's gate faster than Xykon.
Xykon wasn't able to brute-force Dorukan's dungeon. It took him a long time camping outside, and even then he had to rely on Dorukan's psychological weakness to draw him out.
